At the end of the Qing Dynasty, girls from Bat Ky participated in the elite recruitment at a relatively early age, averaging 13 years old. People in ancient times had a rather short life span, so this is the most suitable age to get married and start a family.
The opportunity to become the emperor’s concubine is very small, because not only does it require a noble family background, but also the appearance must be outstanding. But entering the palace also cannot guarantee love from the emperor, most of them have to be buried in the palace, alone for the rest of their lives.
During the feudal period, the great ministers and mandarins wanted to glorify the family, so they found many ways to bring their daughters into the palace as concubines. However, there are many tragic stories about girls who married into the palace, but were not favored by the emperor all their lives, dying of old age in cold loneliness.
Tan Quy Nhan, a concubine of Qian Long is an example. Entered the palace at the age of 16, married Qianlong At that time, she was 88 years old, 72 years older than her. Thanks to her outstanding elegant appearance in the audition, she was given to Qianlong by Emperor Gia Khanh, who was now Thai Thuong Hoang.
Tan Quy Nhan is a Manchurian Tuong Hoang Ky, from the Phu Sa Thi family, a wealthy family, belonging to the same family as Empress Phu Cha of the Qianlong Dynasty. Looking at his position in the family, Tan Quy Nhan is considered the granddaughter of this queen.
Knowing that Qian Long has special feelings for Empress Phu Sat, so, to please his father, Gia Khanh offered Tan Quy Nhan to Qian Long. At that time, Qian Long of course happily agreed, and commended Gia Khanh for his filial piety.
Tan Quy Nhan successfully passed the audition and married Qian Long, who was then Thai Thuong Hoang.
Although Tan Quy has a noble background, and is from the same family as Empress Phu Sat, but because the age difference is too big, he is always indifferent to Qian Long. Tan Quy Nhan married Qian Long when he was 88 years old, died at 89 years old, so it is understandable that this beauty did not have grace.
By Gia Khanh’s time, there were not many records in the palace about this Tan Quy, it can be seen that Gia Khanh did not have any feelings for this concubine. Tan Quy can only quietly be a small concubine in the vast harem.
Gia Khanh died, it was Dao Quang’s turn to take the throne. Because Qian Long was the ancestor of Dao Quang, at this time, Tan Quy became the woman with the highest status in the harem, the only concubine still alive from the Qianlong period. To fulfill his filial piety and save face with the world, Dao Quang ordered Tan Quy to become Emperor Tan Phi.
Tan Quy Nhan enjoyed the glory and riches for a short time, shortly after being ordained as a concubine for a few days, through a serious illness, he died in the 2nd year of Dao Quang (1825), ending his years of poverty. favored, no children, no grandchildren until the end of life.
